Zap to the ankle may ease Kids' chronic constipation
NCT ID NCT06528470
Summary
This study tested if a gentle electrical stimulation to a nerve near the ankle could help children with severe constipation caused by uncoordinated pelvic floor muscles. Researchers compared the real stimulation to a fake (sham) treatment in 40 children aged 8-18. The goal was to see if this non-invasive approach could reduce constipation and incontinence symptoms where standard medicines often fail.
